Get organized

Published: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 08:00 AM.

There has been interest in starting a local Move to Amend affiliate in Bay County. Many have already participated in petitioning, meeting with Rep. Steve Southerland and educating voters about the Citizens United Supreme Court decision that declared corporations are people and money is free speech. The last two election campaigns have revealed how much money will be spent overwhelming the election process.

There is more to be done, and we need to stop this latest infusion of big money into our electoral process. Starting a local Move to Amend organization tied to the national Move to Amend campaign would be a big step in this direction.

Please meet at 6:30 p.m. March 22 at the Democratic Women’s Club Headquarters on 135 Harrison Avenue in Panama City.
